Representation theory, geometry and whatever else we decide is worth writing about today.

New to the blogroll

I thought I’d take a moment to introduce you to three math blogs I’ve recently discovered that don’t seem to be widely linked in the mathblogging community.

Annoying Precision (by t0rajir0u): This is the blog I would have written 8-10 years ago. I know nothing about the author, except that he or she is an MIT undergrad. The level is undergraduate, or very sophisticated high school, and the posts are consistently the very best material that can be studied at this level. T0rajir0u has a thorough understanding of how to use generating functions, calculus, linear algebra, finite fields and so forth and does a great job showing off their uses. Posts I particularly liked: The magic of the Frobenius map, Three approaches to sums of squares.

Thanks for the plug for “How to Show that Games are Hard”. FYI the referenced Ph.D. thesis, “Games, Puzzles, and Computation”, will be out in book form (with additional material) next month from AK Peters.

Secret Blogging Seminar

A group blog by 8 recent Berkeley mathematics Ph.D.'s. Commentary on our own research, other mathematics pursuits, and whatever else we feel like writing about on any given day. Sort of like a seminar, but with (even) more rude commentary from the audience.
